• Henri was born in 1814 in Germany. His last name was a German word meaning ‘a small bird nest.’ As a young man he moved to Switzerland where he worked in a pharmacy doing chemical experiments. • He became preoccupied with the high infant mortality rate. When new mothers were unable to nurse, their babies often died. What the world needed was an emergency substitute for mother’s milk. • After much experimentation, Henri developed a mixture of cow’s milk, flour, sugar, and malt that could be sold in powdered form and reconstituted with the addition of water. By 1867 his baby formula was marketed worldwide. • Next door to Henri’s baby formula factory, Daniel Peter owned a candle factory. The use of oil lamps was making candles obsolete, and Daniel knew he had to diversify, so he decided to go into the chocolate business. He needed a way to make his product stand out. • Being next door to Henri’s factory caused him to wonder if there wasn’t a way to combine milk with chocolate. After eight years, he figured out the formula for milk chocolate, and formed it into the world’s first chocolate bars. • The result was so successful that Henri’s baby formula company bought out Daniel’s milk chocolate company. In 1874 Henri sold his company for a million francs and retired, but the firm he founded went on to become the world’s largest food and beverage company, employing a quarter million people and buying ten percent of the world’s cocoa beans. The firm is named after Henri’s last name. What is it? (Answer at top of next page) FACT • In Hershey, Pennsylvania, the streetlights along "Chocolate Avenue" are in the shape of Hershey Kisses.
